In every human encounter you will see it happening - people are throwing their authority all around; either bullying people or being bullied by others.
And if somebody bullies you, you will immediately find some weaker person somewhere to take the revenge. [on]
If your boss bullies you in the office, you will come home and bully your wife. And if she is not a lib movement woman, then she will wait for the child to come home from the school, and she will bully the child.
And if the child is old-fashioned, not American, then the child will go to his room and crush his toys - because that is the only thing he can bully. He can show his power on the toy. But this goes on and on. This seems to be the whole game. This is what real politics is....
So whenever you have some authority...And everybody has some authority or other. You cannot find a person, you cannot find the last person who has no authority; even he has some authority, even he has a dog he can kick.
Everybody has some authority somewhere. So, everybody lives in politics. You may not be a member of any political party; that doesn't mean that you are not political. IF YOU ABUSE YOUR AUTHORITY, YOU ARE POLITICAL. If you don't abuse your authority, then you are non-political.
Become more aware not to abuse your authority. It will give you a very new light - how you function - and it will make you so calm and centred. It will give you tranquillity and serenity.
